Latina Muslima Series: Over DUE: Afro Latina Muslim Midwife Insights
Shownotes:
Eva Martineau, Afro Latina of Mexican and Haitian lineage and nurse midwife, discusses persistent racial disparities in birth care that traumatize primarily minority populations in America. Find out why this researcher didn't stop at stats, but collected degrees as she decided to set the stirrups straight and serve her community to prevent further harm to future generations. She's taking names and kicking false stories we tell about birth in the...well, take a guess.
We've touched on birth work as a social justice movement in the past, but never like this! Hear how poor healthcare affects Latina Muslimahs and their children, get mad and get busy fixing it.
